The ATRS Global Airport
Benchmarking Report measures and compares the performance
of several important aspects of airport operations: Productivity and efficiency,
unit costs
and cost competitiveness, financial results and airport
charges.
The report also examines the relationships between various performance
measures and airport characteristics as well as management strategies
in order to provide a better understanding of observed differences in
airport performance. The 2017 report includes 206 airports and 24
airport groups of various sizes and ownership forms in Asia Pacific,
Europe and North America.
The ATRS Annual Global Airport Performance Benchmarking Project was
initiated in 2000 at University of British Columbia. The project
is now hosted at College of Business at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical
University in Daytona Beach, FL (USA). The ATRS Research team is guided
by a 16-member task force of leading academics from Asia Pacific,
Europe and North America.
